Don't feel too bad, it's only been open for a year or so, so may not have been open when you visited? it is well worth the trip though, just a beautiful place to explore! xxkate @ livinglovinglaughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338684473367972293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-18404379055632810492014-09-04T20:07:20.232+10:002014-09-04T20:07:20.232+10:00Wow, such beautiful photos!

I've visited Canberra twice (Sydney gal here) and have never visited, let alone heard of, the forest. I'll have to track it down for next visit, it looks marvelous.<br />P.S. I found your blog thanks to Documenting Delight's post about blogs, and I'm glad I did! :)Erin Smithhttp://www.wallflowerblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-41965764298528703052014-09-01T22:54:26.542+10:002014-09-01T22:54:26.542+10:00We've only taken the kids to Canberra the one ...We've only taken the kids to Canberra the one time and we missed the National Arboretum.

It was a very lovely and generous gesture!<br /><br />Glad you liked the photos Kate, I had two very lovely models to work with haha. Seriously, I'm flattered you shared them. :) Thanks again to you, Mark and the kids so very much for opening up your home, hearts and lives to us weary travelers. Not just once but twice (gluttons for punishment or what?)! I thoroughly enjoyed Canberra and your families hospitality was out of this world. I hope we can return the favour one day and then some!Errolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09557206124531057392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-41570184136675744812014-08-22T15:53:57.910+10:002014-08-22T15:53:57.910+10:00Kate, these photos are beautiful!

You really did well with your timing there. I LOVE the shots Errol got of you and Miles. Precious images of you with your baby. And go the green flare! Lovely! <br />I adore the Wide Brown Land sculpture too. Great that the kids can get up close to it too. <br />Still blown away that both your families got to hang out together - so cool!

It happens when you shoot into the sun and the effect is quite desirable in a hipster retro kind of way, So shhhhh, don't apologise, it's deliberate! ;)Tarnyahttp://www.getinthegoodlight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-4463734116187252062014-08-21T06:37:47.938+10:002014-08-21T06:37:47.938+10:00These are beautiful!
